Down here in America we get what is called a "tax return". This pleasant chunk of cash the federal government gives back is always an excuse for me to splurge on a piece of tackle I've likely had my eye on for months. Thanks to this forum and others, it was suggested I track down a Kingpin Regency in order to satiate my desire for a small diameter centerpin reel. Well folks...today it arrived. Anyone else out there want to share their rare/custom centerpin reel with all of us? I'd like to see some other smaller reels a la Paine Falls or Milner

It's a thing of beauty but the pain of the first chip will echo across the border.

You got that right. No risk no reward

from Left to right: 1/3 made gold/pewter 4 3/8 kingfishers, 3 3/4 river wraith, 4 3/8 kingfisher, 4'' kingfisher

very rare, old 4 3/8 pewter kingfisher...and a 15lb doe

also have a couple kingpins, a talisman, IMW and a few other reels...but haven't been fishing any of them since i went back to baitcaster and 4110 sage.

 

[arrgh!]

Just out of interest, why did you go back to a baitcaster?

more casts, better control and hooksets on longer casts, casts which are too long and hard to fish with centerpin...you can put on a spoon or spinner with a baitcaster... and finally because every newbie, beek and wannabee has a centerpin now and think they are hot stuff

The color on those pewter kingfishers is nice...nice line-up kingpin.

Could not agree more. Nice collection of pins.

The Silex.... It's plugged with backing because I experimented with Sufix 832 this season... Enjoyed the braid mainline!
